Not after medical advice, just grammatical advice
Im unsure as to what this is telling me:
I have indefinite payment and am 16-63 so fall under the third one, does this mean the will not bother to contact me until 2015, and carry on paying my DLA until then, then I will have to apply for PIP? have I got that right? Thanks.

How might I be affected?
If you’re aged 16 to 64 on 8 April 2013 then you’ll be
affected by the introduction of Personal Independence
Payment, even if you get an indefinite or lifetime award of
Disability Living Allowance.
Personal Independence Payment is being introduced in stages
over a number of years. That means most people who receive
Disability Living Allowance now will not be affected in the
near future. But it is important that you know how and when
you might be affected.
- If there are changes in how your health condition or
disability affects you on or after 7 October 2013 then
you’ll be asked to make a claim for Personal
Independence Payment. When you report the change of
needs we’ll explain what will happen next.
If your existing Disability Living Allowance award is
due to end, or be reviewed, on or after 7 October
2013, and you’ve not already received a renewal letter
about your Disability Living Allowance, then you’ll be
asked to make a claim for Personal Independence
Payment. We’ll write to you in plenty of time if you
need to take any action. You don’t need to contact us
now.
Everyone else in receipt of Disability Living
Allowance will not be contacted until 2015 or later,
unless you report a change in how your health
condition or disability affects you, or if your award
is due to end as above. We’ll write to you in plenty
of time to explain. You don’t need to contact us now.
If, after we contact you about claiming Personal
Independence Payment, you decide to apply, your Disability
Living Allowance will continue to be paid until we make a
decision about your claim. If you decide not to apply for
Personal Independence Payment, your Disability Living
Allowance will end.
